1.1: How Ya Going To Keep ‘Em Down On The Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree?)

<p>The 1919 vaudeville hit, “How Ya Gonna To Keep ‘Em Down On The Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree?)” may be simple, silly, and with a title that is way too long—but at its core, it holds one enduring truth: the lure of Paris is just sometimes too strong to be resisted. For this premiere episode of l’Atelier Balmain, we explore the paths of two provincials—Pierre Balmain, from Saint Jean de Maurienne in the French Alps, and Olivier Rousteing, from Bordeaux in the southwest of France—who were both drawn to the French Capital as young men, with both eventually rising to oversee the collections at Balmain, as they transformed themselves into true Parisians.</p><br><p><strong>CREDITS L’ATELIER BALMAIN EPISODE ONE</strong></p><p><strong>HOW YA GONNA KEEP ‘EM DOWN ON THE FARM?</strong></p><br><p><strong>Balmain Creative Director:</strong>&nbsp;Olivier Rousteing&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Music: </strong></p><p><em>Marseillaise</em>&nbsp;</p><p><em>"How You&nbsp;Gonna&nbsp;Keep Them Down&nbsp;On&nbsp;The&nbsp;Farm After They’ve Seen Paree?</em>" by Eddie Cantor&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Extrait :</strong> <em>INA broadcasts of Pierre Balmain</em></p><p><strong>Additional music:</strong>&nbsp;Jean-Michel Derain</p><p><strong>Episode Directed and Produced by:</strong>&nbsp;Seb Lascoux</p><p><strong>Balmain Historian:&nbsp;</strong>Julia Guillon</p><p><strong>Episode Coordination:&nbsp;</strong>Alya Nazaraly</p><p><strong>Research Assistance:</strong>&nbsp;Fatoumata Conte and Pénélope André</p><p><strong>Digital Coordination/Graphic Identity:</strong>&nbsp;Jeremy Mace</p><p><strong>Episode researched, written and presented by:&nbsp;</strong>John Gilligan</p><p><strong>Podcast Webpage layout and text:</strong> John Gilligan</p><br><p><strong>To explore further:</strong></p><p><strong>The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas</strong> by Gertrude Stein, Illustrated by Maira Kalman (Penguin 2020)</p><p><strong>Horst Photographer Of Style;</strong> Susanna Brown (Victoria and Albert Museum)</p><p><strong>Pierre Balmain’s Autobiography</strong>:&nb
